If you like having lots of bulky source books that collect dust and bow your bookshelves, then AIGA’s new online Design Archive is not for you. Gone are the days marking page after page with sticky notes, and wondering “who’s got Volume 25?”

In addition to being wicked fast, AIGA’s new Design Archive provides over 1,300 design samples of identity systems, corporate communications design, typography, package design, etc… Each piece includes in depth project information, and a truly amazing zoom feature. Members can create and manage their own lightbox of images. You can also email each piece to a friend (or yourself) right from the site.

Who needs this? Advertising agencies, freelance creatives, and in house art departments can all benefit from a little fresh perspective and inspiration from time to time. How much does it cost? This is the best part. Absolutely nothing. AIGA’s online membership and Design Archives are totally free.

So now what to do with all that empty shelf space?
